"Klugmann?! What the hell... But at least finally something!" Laura thought while going to hangar.
Words like begging, please and help didn´t sound good. But that middle part must have been Walker Nebula! Better than nothing, but heck, that nebula has almost ten systems within. Only hope is that Klugmann isn´t in the deep Omegas. Maybe he is somewhere in Dresden. But it could be Omega-7 or 11 as well. Time to try it in the middle...

She signed for another patrol and announced route to Stuttgart and Omega-11. It was easy, everybody tried to avoid patrols in this system due to radiation and frequent Hessian attacks, so there was always somebody willing to shift the place to get patrol in core systems.

Laura arrived there, refueled on Solarius Station and then flew out to "check surrounding areas and mining fields". When she was far enough, she pulled out her PDA and connected it to ship transmitter, hoping that signal will be better now despite radiation around. Then started to check frequencies one by one.
